12:00 am
do you how any have seen the hay do what i've done? i'm enough. i'm seeing that a good man. hey, what i can now maybe. maybe maybe we can . ah, our new german language channel, our t d. e's embroiled in a legal dispute as europe's media regulated questions is broadcast license unties management of stress. the license was obtained in full compliance with european law, arizona, and full struggle to deal with hundreds of migrants arriving every day a state of emergency has been imposed. the sheriff's describing the situation as the chaos. so we end up with the decimal desert robberies that are happening along the border of the pursues. then the chancellor,
12:01 am
external activity like large amounts of drugs that are being smuggled in the country. high profile officials raised the alarm over a 5th wave of the pandemic engulfing europe. the continent still reeling, of course, from the impact of the previous search of infections. ah, by that very good morning, you are watching. i'm sure you're aware. art internet our brand new german sister channel s r t d e, which stands hockey. deutsch has been accused of not having the necessary documentation to broadcast in germany. anti management has responded saying that his license was quote, obtained in accordance with all the clickable european laws and regulations. now here's some context. on this situation, the new channel was taken of youtube. the very same date was launched. that was on
12:02 am
thursday. technically, there is no connection between that and the german t v broadcast dispute. but as you can see, it's been a rocky stop r t. t official for the european media watchdog had some ominous words as well. for the new channel, the license must be issued in germany, and the application must also be filed here. first of all, this is a real irritant, and we will take care of it. call the r t essentially a peskin little nuisance. that is going to be taken care of. so that is some interesting language there right off the bat. but the, the crux of the issue is that in his view, we are have no business broadcasting in germany. he, he's claiming incorrectly that our tv news channel is actually based in berlin, when in fact, it is based in moscow, quite literally down the hall from, from the studio. and the news programs are coming out here being filmed here,
12:03 am
edited put on the air. and so forth. and they are doing that via a licensed through another country to serbia or another european license and are in full right to broadcast across all of europe, including in germany. our license was obtained under what is known as the european convention on transfer on tier tra, transferred to your television, which are under that convention, gives us the right to broadcast to 33 countries across europe. and as long as you broadcast for moscow, and those countries include germany, but they also include other countries with majority or significant german language populations, such as austria, switzerland, luxemburg, and so forth. this is where this separation is really important. the legal action is being launched against our tv productions, which makes some, you know,
12:04 am
make some of the shows. our tv productions does not need a license, because our tv production is not a channel. it channel is our tv that is coming out of here. and thus moscow, our headquarters, our parent company applied for i applied for the for the license in serbia. the amount of pressure that i knew german channels has even before it went on the air. difficulties with bank side difficulties, not just with licensing, but you know, the pressure on, on, you know, on our gas and so forth, has been really unprecedented air pressure. again, as i mentioned, the beginning on our digital platforms. we're ready to keep our ticket fighting. we spoke with political unless chris banbury and geopolitical analysts, patrick hennington, they say that this move in their opinions politically motivated not just the german regulars saucers. it sounds like the i, e u, the european regulator is also involved. but i think as follows, it's sort of
12:05 am
a general pattern because there's a lot of has been a lot of political brings friendship in germany. i really believe that there's a geopolitical element to this. and the problem is, not only is it a dangerous precedent, but the, you know, the language is also disturbing, or when you have the sort of blogs, a ah dismissal and dismissing off hand or t simply because it's, russian does sound like there's a bias there. an inherent bias when you have all out media war, that's a prelude. sometimes you could say to hostilities, and we haven't you, germany, governments, which ones to distinguish itself from angela marco's pizza? and is clearly moving in a direction more aligned with the united states and its allies in relation to russia. so shutting down, artie deutsch would fit in with that agenda of germany. no one's prove itself as being a law while ally of the united states in this new cold war with, with,
12:06 am
with russia, but not logical in terms of freedom of speech. not logical in terms of what's going on in the world. we reached out to one of the main european authorities dealing with press freedom to get his position on the anti di disputes the overseas representative on freedom of the media told us our request will be considered as soon as possible. rezoning enforcement say that they're overwhelmed as hundreds of illegal migrants are crossing the border will in human each day, leave the county mariposa state of emergency to secure additional resources for dealing with the inflow of people. local shows describe the situation. there is chaos. more than exploits. arizona, mexico border is buzzing with activity. 3000 migrant crossed just this weekend and the local sheriff says they are in a hurry. there weren't a lot of people who were planning to come here. but because of the new law they decided to call me as soon as possible. and now the biden administration recently
12:07 am
reinstated the trump administration policy of having asylum seekers remain in mexico waiting in mexico while their claims are considered. now the sheriff thinks that the administration's actions are fueling, the crisis, told this administration, if they decided to, in mtv, it was going to cause these problems. and obviously the ancillary impacts in the upper in our back yard. so we end up with the desk in the desert of the robberies that are happening along the order of pursuits. then li, ancillary criminal activity, like the large amounts of drugs that are being smuggled into our country. from mexico all are occurring in every order county along the southwest board. now the local mayor has declared a state of emergency. he's calling on federal officials for help. a 110 agents from the department of homeland security have already been re committed. however, local officials are slamming biden for not doing enough. juma is facing an
12:08 am
escalating humanitarian and buddha crisis. and it's a direct result of the biden administration's pool communication, lack of organization, and complete disregard for border protection. but arizona is not alone. florida is also dealing with the migration wave. so the borders obviously a disaster. well actually the by the administration puts people on planes and flies them in the florida in the wee hours of the morning. so they've done over 70 flights. in the last 6 months out. com, a harris who is vice president and just recently named border czar by joe biden, doesn't seem to really be on the case. the guatemalan head of state says he hasn't heard from her since june despite whitehouse reassurances. why is it that she has not spoken to the president of guatemala since you 6 months? i knew that i could see this kind of strange report from the president of guatemala, saying that he has had no contact with the white house,
12:09 am
which is inaccurate. other than you're meeting with harris in june, this is the only one. this is the only communication you've had with the biden administration concerning a legal immigration. yet pamela harris is currently touting her program with private companies to bring foreign investment to central america and stop the migrant flow. but how much a trickle of funds from pepsi, cargill and mastercard will actually do jane's unclear. meanwhile, 50000 juvenile speaking asylum have disappeared. according to the country's top migration tracker, when compared case by case record by record with a previous mon, this data dunc truck received, we find that records just disappear without explanation truck has repeatedly reached out to the agency executive office of immigration review, the d o. j agency, the overseas us immigration cases, but has not received any satisfactory explanation. a number of these asylum cases continues to disappear each month. researchers say the us department of justice is making it more difficult to track juvenile migrant cases. providing information
12:10 am
that is not useful or precise, but one sheriff will not keep silent. they've already got what, over a $147000.00 juveniles that are unaccompanied on. they need to change their messaging. obviously, when you sit there and say that you're going to give in the vigils money because they were separated at the border, that's just a draw for the cartels and for the criminal element to exploit. so now that's why we see a member of juveniles come across 1st. and then the parents come late because they know that bill they will be reunited. so it's all play on the rules that this ministration was put into place. the migrant crisis has hung over the biden administration from the beginning. many wonder if there are any real solutions in the works, not just reassuring words. kaleb mop and r t new york. with
12:11 am
europe still railing from the 4th wave of the pandemic, high profile officials, a warning, a 5th wave is poised to break. the german health minister says it's time to brace for new difficulties as countries across the continent. reimpose tough restrictions to oliver reports for the 4th wave of cove at 19 certainly isn't over. and while we're still dealing with the new german health minister call allowed to buy has been will pay to get pretty bleak picture about the immediate future. he was looking at the number of infections of the ohm icon very into the united kingdom and saying that there is potentially a massive fis wave of the virus on its way brushed. also the, the, i'm assuming there will be a massive 5th wave. i mean close concept with my colleagues from the u. k. both politically and scientifically. we were still coordinating just yesterday, my colleagues say that what has been observed on the ground exceeds anything that has been observed in the entire pandemic. we have to prepare ourselves for
12:12 am
a challenge that we have not faced yet in this form. while infection numbers have been dropping gradually in recent days and weeks here in germany, it isn't happening fast enough. according to the country, public health authority, the robert coffee institute, in order to release the burden from intensive care beds and the availability of those intensive care beds, not just in germany, where there are problems on the horizons, the new action being taken in switzerland. they've brought in new measures which are designed in order to well get more people to get vaccinated. basically, if you haven't been vaccinated or comp prove that you have recovered from covered it within the last 6 months, you're going to be pretty much bod, from, from everywhere. in switzerland, from here on out, what we're seeing is you're going to need to provide the proof of one of those 2 things to get into sports stadiums. cultural events, and leisure facilities, also restaurants as well. it comes after the, the intensive care unit bed space, l. the capacity for that bed space in switzerland,
12:13 am
past 82 percent this week. so the country deciding to take a merge and see measures they're in denmark. they've also implemented new measures . they are going to be closing theaters cinemas because of our eyes of covert cases there in france. what they've done is they've basically cut off all non essential travel between france and the united kingdom because of the, the she had number of cases, tens and tens of thousands. huge amounts of covert case has been recorded in the united kingdom, france deciding they want a few people as possible traveling between the 2 countries. it's also prompted action, an e u level member states, and their leaders saying that they wanted to see more vaccines that are specifically tailored to taco, the oma, kron berry, and of cove at 19. in fact, the orders are all ready to go in for a 180000000 doses of coven vaccines that would target, specifically the, the oem,
12:14 am
across very intuitive world, the subject of vaccines. there's been a massive push here in germany to get people to come forward. for boost to jobs. in fact, 1500000 people were vaccinated here in germany on wednesday alone, 1300000 of those were booster vaccines. but the problem is, there's not enough vaccines here in germany right now in order to keep up that type of pace. and it's that type of pace that the, the new health minister wants to see happening. so what germany is looking to do is to buy vaccines that are being used in countries like poland, bulgaria, and romania vaccines that may well see this, they use by dates expire in the near future, germany say, and they'll take them off their hands in order to try and get enough jobs in the facilities in order to put them into people's arms. lottie spoke with w. h. o representative margaret harris, who says it remains unclear why the on the chromebook into so highly transmissible,
12:15 am
yet we should respond to with urgency. the really big difference between alma klein and the other variance is it made of spread. it can spread itself much more quickly than the previous variance we've seen. we seen in, in both in south africa in europe. the growth rate is very, very fast. it's been, it's been doubling in under 2 days. so if it's raining so quickly and causing so many cases, we are very concerned that there will be a lot of people who become severely ill and end up in hospital. it seems to have a better ability to, to spread between person to person. it's not quite clear why, but we do know that it's got many, many white ball mutations in an important part of the virus called the spike protein. and there are many, many more. it's mutations and we've seen in previous variance,
12:16 am
and this may be giving it an advantage because it's that spike protein it uses to get into our cells. it's not clear exactly why that is clear. what we can do on that separate ourselves not be close together, not give it a good chance to jump from person to person. not really, except that we should do them better. so one of the problems is many countries and societies have been really focusing on only doing one or other thing. many society so well, vaccination should be enough. europe's record electricity prices have risen further up to the biggest power provider in france. shut down ford of its nuclear rank to this week e d. f says that it's down to technical falls. a colleagues were sushi suskin taylor, talk to through this development. while europe's energy crisis might be a hot topic, but sauce me, it does look like it's going to be a cold winter on the continent. because while gas prices have spike,
12:17 am
the gas itself is running low and i'm talking dangerously record lows. in fact, your pink gas stored supplies, haven't been this spot in a decade, on average, across the block. 3074 percent full. that's down from 94 percent last year, and germany in particular is on edge. since the coldest pulse of winter is still ahead, the relatively low gas reserves should be used carefully. if we keep withdrawing gas at the current rate, the level will be very low by february. so no buffer, no real resolve that anyone can sort of depend to and these really tight times and things do seem to be going from bad to worse. because state owned electricity to france or e t f. now that it will be shutting down to of its new reactive because of safety reasons. some pipes are powered and you need repairing on top of that and not the to have pulls to walk pending inspections. this is bad news, of course not just the frogs electricity is most kate and you can generate it is not just bad news for the nations, the exports to, for example,
12:18 am
the u. k. but it's also very nerve wracking for the mall kits which have already been on a total road coast right over the last couple of months. but of course, who has taken the biggest head of all people. i mean, i was absolutely shock to read that europeans will pay 900 percent more the natural gas in january 2022 than they did in january 2021. so i really think looking at this picture now, it's not an exaggeration say, it's a pretty di situation. a lot of this russian gas that goes into europe. it hasn't, they didn't fill up their coffers during last summer. so they were, as you were saying that the gas levels were low, prices have gone up, but russia is the one who's apparently taken the blame and, and certainly the u. k. media and the tabloids in the european media. they've been having russia for these high prices. it is a big supplier of gus to europe. and how was moscow reacting to all of this? while you are right around 30 percent of europe, natural gas that comes from russia. so you'd think then, given how desperate the situation is that brussels would know what side it's bread
12:19 am
is buttered on. but what does the you do? having failed to come to an agreement on how to handle and move forward in this ongoing crisis. an hour long summit i it basically turns round and accuses moscow or using gas as a political weapon. so of course, we know it's always good to have someone else to blame. the thing is, is russia is fulfilling, it's contracts. and the problem is, is it is unwilling to turn the taps on to overflow. mosca says, look, we've got our own low shortages on top of that domestic demand at the moment is incredibly high because you and i very well know the went to here is very cold. we really just can't give you any more. so monica was looking at how the situation is unfolding. it will say, thinking generally about how frosty brussels has been to russia in recent times and think, you know what, it wouldn't be a bad time to diversify our market and to look to cooperate with perhaps more friendly nations. so to that end, a new pipeline is actually on the cards he gave, but i'm it in practical terms. it's a project for gas pipeline,
12:20 am
from russia to china via mongolia. the work is progressing successfully. it could become a continuation of the russian power of siberia to pipeline michigan. the optimal route and length of already been determined, the feasibility studies being prepared. and i think it will be ready in the coming weeks. so construction that could start as early as 2024. in the meantime, what's happening? europe's crisis worsening. the global markets embracing itself. meanwhile, nodes trained to pipeline which is ready to go and could significantly of course, alleviate the use energy crisis is lying idle myers in political games. and of course, who's paying the highest price quite literally. in this case, european systems kind of miss peter earl, gave us his views on why russia starting to prioritize is eastern customers on the energy market. i think at this point, given that it's a mid december or week before christmas, these issues i've already been pushed off to spring or summer of 20. 22 could
12:21 am
certainly be viewed as reckless. but the political nations, these political leaders of these nations definitely think there are strategic issues that are more important than energy axis right now. and eventually those political leaders will have to answer voters for the decision they're making. now, i'm sure the russian decision to engage mongolia and china beyond that rests on a number of political and economic calculations. but in light of the growing tension between the u. s. and russia over ukraine. yeah, probably means russia right now is more inclined to look east at present. the primary meaning of that of that deal is that mongolian, russia are building relationships, which once established may take priority over former relationships on russia with europe. russia basically demonstrating that there are other markets into which they can sell natural gas and other energy products. crusty lansing in new york politicians are ramping up electricity usage by bidding farewell to guess. the
12:22 am
city council voted to eradicate the use of natural gas in new buildings to combat climate change. legislation still needs to be signed by my bill diblasio, but codes well with his green new deal plan. and everybody new york is set on the idea that it's the largest city in america, can take this critical stat to been gaseous. any city can do the same. this is how to fight back against climate change on the local level, and guarantee a green city for generations to come. as long as they can find something more sustainable. sure, but if they're not able to find something and it's at the cost of it and people who need he then i definitely don't agree with that. i think it's important to think about the long term costs and have options available to city. all you need is one blackout, and you know, everything goes caput we're, i've never heard of it or the guess no, it can happen, but has it. now under the draft law, new buildings on the 7 floors will be banned from using gas as an energy source for
12:23 am
things such as stoves and boilers. the rules will be enforced by the end of 2023 and 4 years later, for all new buildings. research is suggest the measure. could kurt carbon emissions by 2100000 tons within 2 decades, which in turn can help save on gas connections. however, the cost of living that is likely to go up the residence of the new buildings in the northeast of the country, consumers are expected to pay $1500.00 for electric heating this winter. that's according to the energy agency or 2 times higher than paying for gas, executive director of a conservative non profit, an hyphenated america says the decision will affect more though than just heating bills. because the things like energy cost, i mean it's one thing. it's just, it's not what it just affect your energy cost for you to heat your home during the winter time. it's going to affect everything across the boards, going to affect the price. so go up for restaurants and you're going to charge more
12:24 am
because they're going to spend more to heat the restaurants or for stores and charge more because their electricity bill is going to go up. it seems like new yorkers following suit with california. i mean, it is bad public policy, this new york city is going to suffer because of this. and it's really tragic because millions of people live in that tri state area and lanes be we're going to suffer and they're not going to be told. they're not going to connect the dots and say, hey, this is a direct result of bad public policy. what is the direct result of the voting pattern that i had? which means i shouldn't be voting for these people because every time i vote for them, they create laws which create problems. the government solution is usually far worse than the actual problem. rushers published a list of proposals for d, escalating tensions with data. that's a mid phase of a flare up in ukraine among the demands of a scale back of military activity close to russia's borders. the western defense alon says that it will consider the document, adding,
12:25 am
though that any outcome will require input from ukraine. senior correspondent reg, as the report somewhat moscow put forward. for years now, we've heard the same thing. oh, things have gone too far. a, we don't want war, we want to be friends for both nato and russia. but things keep getting worse. escalating the russia has taken its step publishing proposals for the u. s. and nato, its wishlist for a return to normality. something to start talking about. and it begins with the cool to de, escalate, to win the constant threats and to build ups which only lead to more of the same. the parties shall not use the territories of other states with a view to preparing or carrying out an armed attack against the other party judge for yourself. way in previous years, they threatened each other with, with sanctions or legal action. now openly booth russia and nato. a talking and
12:26 am
fearful tones about war, another cuban missile crisis. i'd like to believe that this is rock bottom, but as no guarantees and guarantees are what russia wants. guarantees for example, that u. s. missiles aren't stationed within a few minutes flight time to moscow. the parties shall not deploy land based, intermediate and short range missiles in air is allowing them to reach the territory of the other parties. moscow sees nato slow and unexplainable encroachment towards russia's borders. as an existential threat, nato argues that it's peaceful but right then the u. s, military doctorate. russia is referred to as an adversary. the closer that nato and u. s. troops and tags and missiles move to russia, the more unpredictable the game gets, which is why putin has said he's red line. nato states committed themselves to
12:27 am
refrain from any further enlargement of nato, including the accession of ukraine, as well as other states. not that nato thinks much of russia's concerns. not long ago, secretary general stockton berg announced that roger has no vito, no sane nato operations and no right to any sort of security. buffalo sphere of influence, which sets us back all the way to square one. at the nip, it is moderate. this is not an attempt to revise the post cold war order. it's a response to western expansion which has been conducted in a hostile manner. the gist of the proposal that, that the u. s. nato and russia have a requirement for security as essential as food or water that they must all equally respect. nato has received the proposals and says that a little disgust them amongst themselves and with input from ukraine. that there
12:28 am
isn't much cause for optimism. russ's requests of largely been rejected, summoned in private, some and public, and some mockingly for the cameras. but perhaps this time sense will prevail. independent political consultant, reinhold force thinks it's in europe's interest to strike a compromise with russia on nato. i think that at least the european branch in nature should accept this offer happily gladly because it's of great interest, of course, for europe to live in good partnership and peace with russia. but the question is, whether nato will decide in a way that you, europeans, at least, should wish. it may well be in the interest of the united states government. to raise the tensions between europe and russia in order to keep
12:29 am
europe as close as possible independence off the united states. instead of watching a good relationship building of evolving between the european neighbors of which also a russia is a part of this may well explain why nato behaves in a way that is against the interests of the europeans. and which drives russia into ever closer relationship with china yet, but since you're up to date, this is our take, you know, the rest back off and amazon join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. and i'll be speaking to guess on the world of politics. sport business,
12:30 am
i'm sure business. i'll see you then. ah, as low dose this feel age doesn't act like a typical poison. it acts as an into chron disruptor. meaning that it disturbs our hormones. the molecules that regulate, among other things, our reproductive system, with the tiniest observable doses, it can have devastating effects. in other words, between the dos and the effect of a product. research is starting to find some very unexpected relationships. and this is shaking off the world of toxicologists. 8 we were rejecting their dog law, the toxicology community has not accepted it. they said we reject this, the resistance of the toxicologist was, well intention.
